No, I didn’t spray it.

A loyal Psi user asked for a button he could use on his site to link to the Psi download page. I had a copy of the new Psi icon that Jason Kim whipped up, so I put something together. If you want to put something like this on your site, the HTML code is below the image.

The server upon which the Psi website (and this blog) sits will be down for maintenance at times tonight between 8pm and 3am EDT (UTC-4). Sorry for the inconvenience.

## Update @ 0921 ##

Just wanted to let you all know that my partner-admin is a jerk. He went ahead and did the maintenance _this_ morning. “Because he was up”, he said.

So anyway…nevermind! Apparently the maintenance went well. Server might even be faster now.

Quick note to let you all know that I have fixed a little itty bitty bug (the files weren’t there).

I’m happy to (re)announce that Planet Psi is now online. Planet Psi is a developer’s blog, not a general blog about Jabber, nor a community site like the Psi Forums.

Members of the blog aggregate are:

• Hal Rottenberg (feed)
• Justin Karneges (feed)
• Kevin Smith (feed)
• Michail Pishchagin (feed)
• Remko Tronçon (feed)

You should note that the above feeds are actually unique to Planet Psi and do not necessarily appear on Planet Jabber. (The article you are now reading was intentionally cross-posted.) So check us out over there if you would like a different perspective.

Nevermind. Inside joke.

Anyway, check out Lucas N’s updated stats for clients that connect to his Jabber server:

Clients :

* Psi: 28% (28%)
* Gaim: 25% (25%)
* iChatAgent: 13% (18%)
* Kopete: 7% (7%)
* Gajim: 5% (3%)
* Pandion: 4% (2%)
* libgaim: 4% (3%)
* Miranda: 2% (1%)
* neos: 2% (1%)
* BitlBee: 1% (0%)
* Exodus: 1% (1%)
* Trillian: 1% (2%)
* Unknown: 0% (none)
* JBother: 0% (none)

Oh yeah, #1!

As formally announced on our forums, Psi 0.10 has been released after a long development cycle. Significant changes include tabbed chat windows, transparent chat & roster windows, and several other nifty GUI features like Growl support in OSX and an auto-resizing input box.

Next up to the plate is a port to QT4 for 0.11, which is already well on the way. Aside from the obvious benefits to QT/KDE developers, a big bonus is we’ll finally be able to compile Psi “for free” on Windows as Trolltech open-sourced the toolkit for that platform in the latter part of last year.

Then for 0.12 and forward we’ll be back to adding new features like:

* “Jingle” Google Talk-compatible VOIP
* MUC (Multi-user Chat) support
* Full XMPP compliance
* Ad-Hoc Commands

This year should see much improvement for us.

As some of you know, we’ve had a lot of changes to the Psi website lately. I finally moved the whole thing to a new server (psi-im.org) a bit over a week ago. I decided not to resurrect the old forum, based on Invision Power Board. A very old version, I might say. Instead, I went ahead with what was in the website roadmap anyway which was to migrate to Unclassified Newsboard.

The migration went pretty well, but it was a lot of work. The database migration script needed some hand holding, then I had a lot of configuration and theming to do. I swapped out the new Psi logo for the UNB logo and it didn’t look good at all, so I put a few hours into sliding things around. The end result is quite pretty, but most of the credit does go to Yves, the UNB author. My changes from his default theme were not drastic–yet.

So please do check it out; and maybe stay for a while. The new Psi Forum! Oh, here’s a poll where you can let me know what you think.

Here are some statistics you might find interesting. This set is just since the forum change:

• Currently, 5 users are online: Fritzy, halr9000, Kev, matthias_gor, TommyV6 and 4 guests
• Today, 28 users were online: a2k, Ephraim, Fritzy, halr9000, IceRAM, Kev, LonelyPixel, machekku, Marsup, matthias_gor, michalj, minipouss, MRAY, MrPingouin, nikkou, NotDeadMeat, oops_max, Pedersen, quelcom, raj_bhaskar, random, schalotten, spike, SunCat, tezem, ToF, TommyV6, weirdonietzsche and 226 guests
• Most users in a day is 44, plus 356 guests. That was yesterday.

This set is all-time, or at least since we had been using IPB:

• Number of threads: 2788
• Number of posts: 20,925
• Registered users: 3,451

We had the database go all screwy last night. I’ve decided to rebuild everything on our new webhosting provider instead of remaining on the old troublesome server. I’m about 75% done rebuilding the site.

Update @ 2:30PM

The site is operational now at our new webhosting provider (me). The new website address is http://psi-im.org. Forums are not up yet but I’m working on it. Thanks for your patience.

I don’t know what is going on at our host. The whole thing, including our hosts own website, is down. No ETA yet.
